2/4
Those viewers who are trying to keep an open mind about the existence or nonexistence of the divine may find Dawkins' certainty as off-putting as that of the religious activists he meets. Go to Full Review
David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 02/14/2021
His [Dawkins'] limitations emerge when his brand of materialism comes into contact with profound historical and social processes, and in particular problems of mass consciousness. Go to Full Review

08/29/2012 Love learning from Richard Dawkins always. See more 08/15/2012 Enjoyable, although it doesn't offer anything new between the endless debates of the religious and atheist people of the world. See more 04/15/2012 The Root of all Evil is a very intriguing and interesting documentary on the plague of religion upon the world, spoken and created by Richard Dawkins. However, although the man's genius is indisputable and the points he makes are in all fairness, true and reasonable, he doesn't seem capable of having an emotionless and relevant debate with the interviewees. The documentary is done in a somewhat amateur fashion without going into detail and instead spreading itself across many subjects very briefly. See more 03/01/2012 Once again proves more evidence towards Evolution over Creationism and the corruptness of most if not all the worlds religions See more 01/01/2012 Interesante documental divido en dos partes ("La ilusión de dios" y "el virus de la fe"), a travà (C)s del cuál Richard Dawkins hace una crítica a las tres grandes religiones monoteístas -el islam, el cristianismo y el judaísmo-. Valià (C)ndose de entrevista con varios líderes espirituales y feligreses, Dawkins muestra los efectos de la fe irracional en los dogmas, al tiempo que alienta al uso del libre pensamiento y la búsquedas de respuestas. Aunque por momentos -en especial al inicio de cada parte- hace uso de un lenguaje duro y quizás alarmista para uno que otro espectador, es sin duda un interesante documento acerca del eterno debate ciencia versus fe, que bien vale la pena considerar, seas creyente o no.
